Last week, the New York Times’ Bret Stephens tweeted about an article in Haaretz stating that according to a Kuwaiti report, the Obama administration warned Iran about an Israeli plan to assassinate Iranian General Qassem Soleimani:

The story here, Kuwaiti-sourced, is that Obama team tipped Tehran to an Israeli attempt to assassinate Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian general who has the blood of hundreds of American troops in his hand. What says @brhodes? https://t.co/sf5PYp4mq5

I didn't work in the White House three years ago, but Ben did and he already denied it. Regardless, you could've tried to confirm this without spreading the lie via Twitter. Good to see you're bringing the same intellectual rigor you apply to climate change to national security.

Good, because all my original tweet did was ask a question based on a story that had been picked up by Haaretz, a reputable paper. What we’ve established as fact is (a) you think an Iranian terrorist mastermind is a “politician,” and (b) you’re an asshole. https://t.co/lWn1Mhy7XT

Well, anyway, needless to say, Vietor wasn’t too pleased with the Daily Wire, either. He took a pretty nasty swipe at editor in chief Ben Shapiro:

Steve Bannon protege @benshapiro should be embarrassed to have published this. At no point did I confirm this story. I didn’t even work at the White House when it is alleged to have happened. This is why Breitbart was garbage before Bannon made it Nazi garbage. https://t.co/HOpsEZqPgq

Snort! But really, Tommy’s out of his mind. As Ben Shapiro so succinctly points out:

Our story is an accurate telling of your exchange with Bret Stephens. Please point out the falsehood. I’ll point out one of yours: calling me a Bannon protege is absolutely batshit insane. https://t.co/5dQs0DGPQQ
